    Morey has been trying to trade Asik since 2013.

    Interesting the Harden for Melo sign and trade but could we get something else from NY if this goes down? Shumpert at least?

    Of course, if both Melo and Harden on the team, it will be horrible to construct the perimeter defense.

    Opposing teams will absolutely love to play against Harden and Melo together, it is going to be a feast.

    It is a tweet based on truth, anyone with a brain knew about months ago added with a bit of bull**** to excite the ESPN audiance.

    Chris Broussard has no understanding of the game, he just sees names.

    Hopefully Asik signs elsewhere (out East) when his contract expires.

    Dwight is harder to replace. I don't blame him.

    Also see 2014 playoffs.

    They should go after Birdman.

    New superteam... Holliday, Davis and Asik are an excellent core. Asik's presence will allow Davis to flourish.

    Chris Broussard and his "multiple sources" is sketchy indeed, but I think we all know what your true intentions are Harden only fan.

    Asik is worth a top ten pick, but with everyone knowing we need to clear the decks...Besides, NO is one injury away from this being a VERY high pick.(assuming this is unprotected like it should be) More importantly this implies that we have at least one of the SUPERSTARS in the bag!

    Apparently lots of protection on the pick to make it fall between late lottery and 20 overall.

    No! There's no way I'm actually going to start listening to radio interviews and stuff. J.R. is a national treasure.

    So we sacrificed a potential title run this past year for probably a late lotto pick in next year's draft? I hope it was worth throwing away Dwight's 10th year over.

    Damn, great move for Hornets. Lets Davis slide to 4 and allows NO to have 2 rim protectors. Now they just need to fix their mess of a back court.

    Yeah but they have to resign him to a deal bigger than what Oberto is getting.
